You always taught me right from wrong, I need your help, daddy please be strong. I may be young at heart, but I know what I'm saying. The one you warned me all about, the one you said I could do without. We're in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe please ! Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep. Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep. But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh. I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm. 2. He says that he's going to marry me, we can raise a little family, maybe we'll be all right, it's a sacrifice. But my friends keep telling me to give it up, saying I'm too young, I ought to give it up, what I need right now is some good advice, please ! + REFRAIN 3. Daddy, daddy if you could only see, just how good he's been treating me. You'd give us your blessing right now, 'cause we are in love, we are in love, so please ! + REFRAIN .....
